Oven vent C. Lower oven The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent. ACCUBAKE ® Temperature Management System (on some models) The ACCUBAKE ®system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to help maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on; the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe. To Bake or Roast: Press BAKE. Press TEMP "plus" (+) or "minus" (-) keypads to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5 ° amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C). 2. Press START. The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does not need to be pressed again. 3. Press LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished. Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures. • Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke. • For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. • Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling. • Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned. • After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult. Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door. To Broil: 1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. 2. Press START. 3. Press LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished. To Custom Broil: 1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. 2. Press TEMP "plus" (+) or "minus" (-) keypads to change the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The broil range can be set between 300°F and 500°F (149°C and 260°C). 3. Press START. 4. Press LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished.
